    Kurkuri Rava Bhindi

    Kurkuri Rava Bhindi/ Crispy Okra Fry

    Kurkuri bhindi as the name gives complete picture of the recipe, we all can say this is crispy okra fry. Adding rava makes this more crispy.

    To make crispy okra fry, you can also use a mixture of rice flour and gram flour along with spices. But with semolina getting fried this is even better and crispier.

    This is an easy recipe which took me hardly 5 minutes of preparation and 15 minutes (or less) cooking time. I made this as side dish. You can make this with roti or flat breads. but I feel this is best as a side dish.

    Ingredients
      

    • 20 - 25 bhindi / okra
    • 1 tsp coriander powder
    • 1 tsp red chilli powder
    • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
    • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
    • 1/4 cup rava/ semolina
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp hing or asafoetida
    • 1/4 tsp aamchur powder
    • 5 - 6 tbsp refined oil

    Instructions
     

    • Wash, clean and dry bhindi or okra.
    • Remove head and tail. Slit into 2 halves. 
    • In a mixing bowl take rava, all dry spices including salt, ginger garlic paste.
    • Add okra halves and toss well so that everything will get coated well on bhindi.
    • Let it rest for 5 - 7 minutes.
    • Then heat oil in a pan. Place coated bhindi one by one. some rava will come out but don't worry about it.
    • With help of a tong flip sides and cook both sides covering with a lid.
    • Cook til it looks crispy on both sides.
    • Once done remove from oil and place on paper towel to get rid of excess oil.

    Notes

    Since the mixture is bit dry, it will not coat the bhindi completely (as in fritters). So while frying the coating on outer side will get removed during frying.
    Try to press more mixture into the inner part. Coating will stick because of slimes. While turning be careful else all mixture will be removed from okra during the process of frying.

    Can I make crispy okra in microwave?

    In fact if you are on low carb diet, this method is better. To make it in microwave, preheat oven on 180 degree for 10 minutes. Then line the baking tray with parchment papers and place all coated bhindi on it. Spray or brush it with little oil on top. Bake at 180 degree C for 18 - 20 minutes.

      Lovely recipe, Ipsa!

      We often make this Kurkuri Bhindi recipe at home. It's a hot favorite dish amongst all of us.

      I also liked your suggestion of using Rice flour and Gram flour in this recipe. I think it gives an interesting texture to Bhindis.

      If you wish to eat a vegetable with minimum ingredients and spices yet want it to be tasty, you must go for ladies’ finger. This Okra recipe you have shared seems yummy. Most mothers complain when their children insist on outside foods. The fact is that children won’t insist on outside food if the food at home is tasty. Keep sharing posts like this.

      I make this in the Air Frier - no need to flip, and it gets evenly cooked on both sides. 10 to 12 minutes at 160 Degrees Celsius. Uses less oil also - lightly apply oil with a brush. Excess oil, if any, drains out into the bottom container.

        Great. Air Fryer is always a better option for oil-free foods. Thank you for liking.
